how old is she? it's possible that she had them when you got her or you could have transfered mites by handling other pythons, or even by going to a pet shop that sell reptiles, it's not hard to do
get some TOD and follow the instructions carefully

Could be harmless wood mites living in our cage furniture that have gone for a drink and died... Examine the snake to be sure she hasn't got mites
